FAQ

Why does the ICED coffee still brew HOT

The Mr. Coffee Iced + Hot Coffeemaker brews hot, concentrated coffee directly over ice to quickly cool the hot coffee. This process not only gives you iced coffee in under 4 minutes, but also maximizes flavor extraction and leaves you with a refreshing cup of iced coffee. Our precise measurements of water, coffee grounds and ice ensure that your iced coffee is always flavorful and never watered down.

My iced or hot coffee isn't strong enough for my taste – what now?
No problem – everyone's tastes are different! Feel free to add an extra ½ - 1 scoop of coffee grounds to the reusable filter for a bolder cup of coffee. You can also try selecting the "OVER ICE" setting for Hot Coffee, as this pre-infuses the coffee grounds with hot water and pauses brewing cycle briefly to "bloom" the coffee grounds for best extraction.

Is the tumbler dishwasher safe?

No, the tumbler, lid and straw should be hand-washed only.

Why is there no ice left in my cup after brewing iced coffee?
Try using bigger ice cubes when making your iced coffee – these will melt slower and give you ice in your drink for longer! Also be sure you have filled your tumbler all the way to the "ICE" marking.

Why are there coffee grounds in my coffee

You may have over-filled your reusable coffee filter with coffee grounds, and they could have spilled over the top. Although this is uncommon, try using a little less grounds next time and that should solve this problem!

Can I use a different tumbler or cup for making iced coffee?
Sure thing! Just ensure you keep the same ratio of water-ground-ice to create the best tasting iced coffee!
